About the Miami Valley Risk Management Association
With offices in Kettering, Ohio, the Miami Valley Risk Management Association (MVRMA) is a property/casualty "insurance pool" for qualified cities in southwestern Ohio. Individually, its members are too small to fund a self-insurance program. Collectively, however, the MVRMA members have sufficient size and resources to effectively administer a partially self-insured program. A 1986 Ohio law allows Ohio public entities to pool together for just this purpose. MVRMA has been operational since December 1, 1988. Currently, MVRMA includes 20 cities as members. In 2004, MVRMA received the Ohio City/County Management Association’s Intergovernmental Cooperation Award. There have been two Executive Director’s in MVRMA’s 24 year history.
